WARNING
Lubricants
Do NOT use Vaseline, oils, hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere! Petroleum base lubricants will
cause swelling of o-rings and seals. The use of other lubricants may attack plastic Noryl®. It is recommended that
Dow Corning® silicone grease be used as a lubricant for all control valves. Dow Corning® 7 Release Compound
is used in the manufacture of Chandler Systems control valves. (Part # LT-150)
Sealants
Pipe dope and liquid thread sealers may contain a carrier that attacks some plastic materials. It is recommended
that Teflon® tape be used to seal plastic Noryl® threaded fittings.
SIGNATURE 2 SERIES
Installation
Installation Requirements
Make sure you have level floor position ahead of piping into water heater.
Unit must be installed at least 10 feet ahead of the inlet to a water heater to prevent damage due to back-up hot
water.
DO NOT install the unit in an area of direct sunlight or where freezing temperatures may occur!
Locate the unit near an unswitched, 120 volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet.
Check for distance and proper drain installation (e.g. floor drain, washing machine standpipe).
Determine type and size of piping required for filter connection (e.g. copper, galvanized, PVC plastic).
Note : If household plumbing is galvanized and you intend to make the installation with copper (or vice versa),
obtain di-electric unions to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Note : Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 feet in length to reach the drain,
use 3/4” I.D. drain line tubing instead of 1/2” I.D. Drain line tubing is not included.
Caution : If sweat soldering copper pipe (remember to always use lead free solder and flux), cover yoke and bypass
valve with wet rags to prevent heat damage to connections and control valve. If using PVC or plastic pipe,
primers and solvent cements specifically recommended for use with potable water are required.
Note : All plumbing lines not requiring “soft” water should be connected “upstream” of the softener, if installed.
(See Typical Installation Diagrams.)

Installation
Installation Procedure
To allow for filter servicing, swimming pool filling or lawn sprinkling, a manual Bypass Valve has been installed at the
factory. The Bypass allows raw water to be manually routed around the filter.
1. Position filter at desired location for installation. If a water softener is to be installed, the filter should be
positioned first and then the softener. (See Installation Diagrams.)
2.The filter material is shipped separately from the mineral tank. The tank must be loaded with material after
tank has been placed at the desired location.
A. Remove the control valve by unscrewing from the tank.
B. Use cap provided to place over top of distributor tube to prevent material from entering tube while
filling.
C. Place media funnel in hole on top of tank.
D. Pour several gallons of water in the tank. (Fill tank about 1/3 full.)
E. Pour in the required filter media. No gravel is required. The required quantity & type of media is listed
in the filter specifications.
F. After installing filter media, add the included pack of aeration balls.
G. After filling the tank with material, use a garden hose or several buckets to fill the tank with water.
Note : This will permit the filtering media to become soaked while preparing the installation and will
prevent the control valve from being plugged with floating material on initial backwash.
H. Remove funnel and clean filter media from tank threads.
I. Remove cap from distributor tube.
J. Replace control valve on mineral tank.
3. Turn OFF main water supply and OPEN nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
Caution : Raised arrows located on the sides of control valve body and bypass valve indicate proper direction
of water flow. Install inlet and outlet piping in direction of arrows.
1. Pull out clip and remove drain line assembly located on the right side of control valve. Remove drain line
hose elbow and wrap threads with Teflon tape. Reinstall drain line hose elbow. Replace drain line assembly
and reinstall clip.
2. Install 1/2" I.D. drain line tubing (not included) from hose elbow to an open drain. A 4" gap between end
of the drain line and the open drain is required to prevent waste water backflow. Keep the drain line as short
as possible. An overhead drain line can be used if necessary, but should discharge below the control valve.
A syphon trap (taped loop) at the outlet of the drain line is advisable to keep the drain line full and assure
correct flow during backwash. Elbows or other fittings must be kept at a bare minimum.
Note : Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 feet in length, 3/4" I.D. drain line
tubing should be used.

Electrical Connection
- Electrical Connection -
1. Connect the power cord and plug power supply into a 115 volt / 60 Hz receptacle.
Note : Do not plug into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull chain that could inadvertently be turned off
Electronic Connections
P = Power Supply
Installation Procedures
1. Move the bypass valve slowly to the Service position or open the main valve and allow water to flow to the
mineral tank.
2. When the water stops flowing into the tank, open a treated water tap and allow air to be released from the
lines. Allow several minutes during this time to follow steps on valve for setting the time. Once time of day
is set, go back to main menu. Then close the tap. Open the bypass valve or main valve completely. The
days for backwash and air draw are already programmed.
Anytime media (other than very fine mineral on initial startup) is apparent in the service lines, it usually indicates one of
the following problems :
A. The unit is plumbed in backward allowing the media to be carried in the service line.
B. The distributor tube inside the tank is not seated inside the valve or is damaged in some way.
C. If the media flows to the drain during backwash, after a reasonable period of soaking, check the drain line flow
control to be sure that excessive water is not going to the drain allowing mineral to siphon out of the tank.
3. Hold down set/change button for five (5) seconds. (A “1” will appear), release and repeat. The unit will now
enter backwash. Allow the unit to perform an entire cycle. This will rinse media and charge up the air chamber.
4 Once unit is back in service, (approximately 60 minutes) clean water will be available.Any water used
during a cycle will be untreated.

SIGNATURE 2 SERIES
Final Checkout and Annual Maintance
- Final Checkout -
1. Be certain that the bypass valve is in Service position and main valve is completely on.
2. Check electrical supply to be certain the cord is connected to an uninterrupted 115 volt outlet.
Important Notice - The plumbing system, piping, pressure tank, hot water tanks, softeners, etc. that have been exposed to
iron bearing water may need to be cleaned of the precipitated iron that has been collected in them or iron bleed thru may
be a problem. We suggest all tanks be drained and flushed thoroughly.
- Annual Maintenance –
Annual replacement of the seal kit is required in all single tank air systems due to air drying of the seals over time. Poten-
tial performance issues will result if this maintenance interval is not performed. Any system problems associated with this
required system maintenance not being accomplished will not be covered by the factory warranty.

Control Start-Up Procedures
5.To set the Number of Days between Air Draw Cycles (d), press the Set/Change Button
Repeat instructions from step (2) Example (d - 01 )
Notes: 1) Maximum value is 29.
2) If value set to 0, air draw is turned off, but an air cycle will still be completed when
backwash cycle occurs. If the Number of Days between Air Draw Cycles is set to
a higher number of days than the Number of Days between Backwash Cycles, it
will have no effect. In order to turn off all cycles, both the Days between Backwash
and Days between Air Draw Cycles must be set to 0.
3) Default setting is 1 day.
Normal Operation
1.Home Display
a. Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Backwash.
- Days Remaining until the Next Backwash will count down from the entered value until it reaches 1
day remaining.
- A Backwash Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time.
• If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the Signature 2 will motor to a shut off position
to prevent constant flow to drain. Depending upon system pressure and other factors, it is possible to
observe a reduced flow to drain during this step. After power is restored, the Signature 2 will return
and finish the cycle where it left off prior to the power interruption.
• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current point in the
regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is restored. The time will be
offset by the increment of time the unit was without power, so it is necessary to reset the time of day
on the unit. No other system will be affected.

Utilizing Bluetooth Control
To take advantage of the Bluetooth interface this feature must be set up on a compatible Bluetooth enabled smart phones
or tablets.
Note: Valves with a revision number greater or equal to “C2.00” are only compatible with Bluetooth 4.0+ (a.k.a.
Bluetooth LE) Smartphones and tablets. If you have an Android or Apple device with a compatible Bluetooth
radio it can be used to connect to the valve. Valves with a revision number less than “C2.00” are only compatible
with Android devices and these valves use a Bluetooth 2.0 radio. In the rest of this section valves with a revision
number greater or equal to “C2.00” will be referred to as BTLE, valves with a revision number less than “C2.00”
will be referred to as BT.
(The firmware revision of the valve can be viewed on the valve display for 2 seconds after the valve is powered up.)
Unfortunately due to changing Bluetooth and Tablet / Phone manufacturing standards, not all tablets and smart phones
are compatible with all valve versions. In general, the below table should guide you in compatibility.
BT Legacy View Valve BTLE Legacy View Valve
Android Device with BT 4.0+ Yes Yes
Android Device with older BT Yes No
Apple Device with BT 4.0+ No Yes
1. Download and install the Legacy View app from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store or
www.ChandlerSystemsInc.com
2. If your valve revision is a BTLE valve you can skip this step. Otherwise, if it is a BT valve the following steps must
be followed to pair your smart phone or tablet to the control valve.
• Open the settings menu on your smart phone or tablet and click on Bluetooth.
• Look for the softener or filter valve you want to connect to under the list of available Bluetooth devices.
• Select the device and pair (Default password is: 1234)
3. Open the Legacy View app
• Choose a valve device at any time from the list of available devices to connect to by clicking on it.
• If the valve you want to connect to doesn’t show up, or there is a problem connecting to a device you can
press the “Scan for Devices” button or the Legacy View logo at any time to refresh the list and start the
process over.
• If the valve device is a BTLE valve and it has a password other than the default password, the first time you
connect to it the app will ask you to enter the password. After entering it the first time you should not need to
enter it again unless it changes.
4. BTLE Valve devices can be updated by the App. When the app is updated from the Google Play Store or the
Apple App Store, it may contain an updated firmware program for the valve devices. These updates could contain
new features or operational improvements. It is up to the user to allow these updates to be sent to the valve device.
Uploading a new program takes approximately 1 minute.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
